It looks to me like frank flipped 2 pages. That means he was on the page with assists and cycles. Add in the fact that he threw it into a recycling bin, and it seems like we might be looking at how cycles are done changing.

1993: robots increase in size and go wireless
1996: robot weight increases
1999: robot alliances begin
2001: robots race against the clock
2003: autonomous mode introduced
2005: 3 vs. 3 introduced
2009: primary field surface isn't carpet for the first time since 1992
2013: field perimeter changes

Those are all the changes listed in the video

You are correct.

Is there something not part of the field walls in the very bottom right part of the frame at the very end?

I'm also curious if recycling might have something to do with more relaxed rules for reusing parts?

I believe I heard that all of the footage in this video was from Einstein fields.

Does the rail look higher than usual?

I saw that too but cant tell because of the reflection of the gate.

I think it was the robot perimeter that changed.

A list of all FRC games with changes called out emphasizes the weird changes/twists FIRST has done in the past. This makes me think this year's game will be a unique one. Next, he claims "change is coming", then recycles the 2014 rules.

I really, really, really, really hope they aren't recycling the 2014 rules and adding some changes. It's one of my biggest fears :ahh:

They literally recycled the 2014 game manual in the video lol

Even though they did this, there are still a lot of other ways to take that.

There is a single instance of the word "recycle" in the 2014 game manual.

This is in the permitted motors section. Maybe their's something to do with windows? ie. drivers don't get a window any more. That one guy on the phone that mentioned it may be on to something.

Not all the footage is from Einstein. The 2012 footage comes from the Archimedes finals, the 2009 footage is from something other than Einstein.

Exactly. Frank didnt simply throw it away, he recycled it.
Also, care to take a wager that the fact he was on the game field relevant?

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION
 
Has anyone considered that Frank simply used a recycling bin simply because he wants to help save the environment? I think the "change" is more pertinent to the game than the recycling.

I'm not sure if there is anything, but that's that seems like it could be pretty good for the recycling.
